France Not Asked To Nuclear Talks
GENEVA — (UPI) — The United States and Britain have decided not to back Russia's bid to have France join the nuclear test ban talks, diplomatic sources said Monday.
Britain and the United States were reported to feel that the conference should proceed with its present composition of the three original nuclear powers.
THE SOVIET UNION LAST week submitted a four-point proposal on a nuclear test ban agreement that would not provide international controls for any treaty but would include France in future talks.
BUT THE UNITED STATES and Britain, the sources said, feel they should not ask France to join now after three years of fruitless talks.
The sources said that an application for French participation would not be rejected by the West. They said the West would "consider" a French application.
THE SOVIETS HAVE made clear that French participation is a prerequisite for a test ban treaty.
Student Book Drive a Success
Twice the number of books received in the last Asian Student's Book Drive have been collected this year. The drive is sponsored by the University Libraries and KU-Y.
John L. Glinka, assistant director of libraries said yesterday that 663 books, including texts and paper-backs, were donated to the drive which was held last month. Most of the books are in good condition, Mr. Glinka said. "It shows that some people went to some length to help."
The last drive was in 1958 when approximately 300 books were collected.
The books will be sent to the Asia Foundation in San Francisco, Calif., an organization which solicits educational materials for Asian countries. More than 600 colleges work with the Asia Foundation helping to supply Asian universities and students with books. There are few organized sources in Asia which provide students with books, Mr. Glinka said.
Mr. Glinka hopes to hold a supplementary drive at the end of the fall semester. Receptacles would be placed in the Kansas Union Book Store for students to deposit their books if they wished. Plans for this arrangement have not been worked out, Mr. Glinka said.
